Why I built Octopus Scanner
Too many accessibility tools come with advertising, subscriptions or strings attached. I wanted something private, unobtrusive and genuinely simple, for my own work and for others in the field. When I couldn't find it, I built it.
Why it matters to me
I originally built Octopus Scanner as a tool for my own accessibility work. It has since supported countless projects and grown into a passion project that I continue to develop. See where it started on itch.io (opens in a new tab).
Every part of Octopus Scanner is shaped by the realities of accessibility work.
Eww, LinkedIn.
